We have discussed this several times and as well all know Paypal is a pretty big ripoff with their horrible USD/CAD conversion rate and fees. @Jeevansluck asked me to send him some USD on Paypal so he could buy chips and then this was paid back by e-transfer. This was painless and easy and saved us both a few bucks. It got me thinking why we don't do this all the time.
Withdrawing from PP to your bank account is free and usually sending e transfers is free so this is an easy way for us to avoid all fees and also get a good exchange rate. I usually just use whatever exchange rate Google is suggesting for that day.
Of course this opens the door to being scammed so only perform these transactions with people you trust.
We can use this thread to post whether we want to buy USD on PP or whether we want to sell USD on PP.
